Serious problem with upgrade script

[chatfan]

Posted something about the upgrade script but i think it needs more looking into from my end first.


If your running a test site to check if the upgrade works make sure you have a backup of your database and do NOT try to test it on your production database. The upgrade script wil alter your database slightly and you will have a MySQL error.

In other words: make sure you check your conf.php settings on your test site to make sure your not using the original database but a seperate testing one.

What MySQL error? Not sure I follow you... please explain a little bit more.

Ah ok, I had two sites onthe same server: 1 is the production site 2 is the test site.

Site 2 is a copy of site 1.

I forgot to check the MySQL database settings. It was stil pointing to the production site 1 database instead of its own. So when upgrading site 2 to the new 3.5 Vivvo it updated something that causes a MySQL error for site 1 that was running from the same database.

anyway, after restoring my database backup and putting the test site on its own database all is well.
